Maruti Suzuki Building EV Infrastructure
The brand wants to bring the best customer experience, so they are planning to build maximum charging stations all over India for seamless charging. Their goal is to have more than 1 lakh charging points by 2030, with charging stations every 5-10km.
In addition to expanding charging infrastructure, Maruti Suzuki has already set up 1,500 EV-ready service stations across India. Over 1.5 lakh trained personnel have been deployed to ensure the best service for these EV vehicles.
The company has also launched an 'e for me' mobile app that provides the customers with up-to-date driving data and ownership details. The app can also locate nearest charging points, and users can also make digital payments and book service appointments.
Maruti also provides a subscription-based buying experience through Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS). The Customers can buy the car, not the battery. Instead, they rent the battery and pay monthly, which reduces the buying cost.
